Run ESXTOP in batch mode

Run ESXTOP in batch mode using the -b switch along with a .csv file name. ie. esxtop -b > my_file.csv. The esxtop utility does not enforce a .csv file extension, however, post-processing tools require it. Tools such as MS Perfmon and Excel can be used to view the .csv file after the capture.
Somewhat related, you can also run esxtop in replay mode on vm-support collection data with the command: esxtop -R [vm-support_path]
